breeders and others interested are to meet

The bill will be somewhat similar in con-

which there is much reasonable doubt.
Catholics need no better cause for mis-
trusting one Of their number than his de-
fence by someone outside Of the denomi-
ination. Some Of the leaders of the
Knights Of Labor charge Mr.. George
with being in league with the socialists,
and that certain Organizations Of the Or
der established by him are loyal neither
to the order nor to the country, and
should be suppressed. Mr.. Georges first
issue seems to have made more inhuen-

A SURGEON of the United States army
has returned from his visit to Paris to
look into the Pasteur system of prevent
ing hydrophobia, and reports very favor
ably upon it's effectiveness. Congress
will be Immediately asked to appropriate
money for the opening of Pasteur hos
pital either in New York or Washington
probably the latter. The surgeon says a
much larger number of Americans go to
Paris to be treated than is supposed.
Pasteur charges no fees whatever, but
contributions are accepted which, how
ever, are strictly confined to the mainte-
nance of the hospital. Hydrophobia is
indisputably a most terrible affection,
and if a preventive has been found
that is effective, government provision
for hospital will not make it necessary
for Americans, whether amply able or
not, to go abroad for treatment, and
would be an expenditure of a little of the
troublesome treasury surplus in phi
lanthropic way.

If THERE is any one little act of the
government that would benefit the entire
business portion of Dakota citizens at
present, it is the establishment of a reg
ular mail service on the regular trains
between Columbia and Jamestown. Al
though person has been able for sew
eral weeks to leave Columbia at o'clock
and reach the capital city at noon the
next day, it still takes mail matter four
days to cover the same distance. Going
the other way, passenger leaves Bis
marck at o'clock and reaches Columbia
the next morning at 7:30; but the mail
leaving Bismarck at the same time
reaches Columbia three days later. A
passenger between Yankton and Bis
marck also gains two days upon the mail
between the two points. It is we'll un-
derstood that there is considerable red
tape about the government, but several
weeks ought to be time enough to estab-
Gsh the route and cause no one undue
haste. The convenience of having good
mail facilities between North and South
Dakota would not be greater at any time
than at present, and if some united ac-
tion should be taken by prominent citi-
zens along the line, it would seem that at
least a ''pouch MALI could be secured at
once and general service soon follow.

ALTHOUGH there exist protracted
blockades on nearly every other line in
the territory, the trains over the North
ern Pacific road are pulling through ev-
cry day. The train from the east yester-
day was only one hour late at James,
town, but lost two more hours of sched-
ule time before reaching Bismarck. The
train from the west was on time. The
managers of the road are not only serv-
ing their own immediate interests, but
are strengthening the good will of their
patrons and those living along their
route in bringing the mails and reaching
their destinations so promptly under the
circumstances.

The world does move. Time was, and
that within the memory of most of our
veterans, when there was little or no SYM
pathy and great deal of prejudice for
Irishmen and ireland among the English
people. But now it is said the reports of
cruel and relentless evictions in Ireland
are exciting great indignation throughout
England. Were it not for the conserva-
tive and tory idea that it would establish
a bad precedent to yield too quickly to
public opinion, the evictions would be
stopped-at least until final legislation is
had on the Irish land question.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1887-01-21

IT Is SAID that Dakota has at least one
newspaper to every 1900 inhabitants, and
the necessary conclusion is that either
some of the people, men, women and
children are subscribers to a goodly num-
Der of territorial papers, or that many of
the news disseminators have pretty
small bona fide circulation. In case of
the latter, the publishing of land and le-
gal notices, principally the former, pay
for the patent matter, and the "ads." pay
for their own setting, and the people of
thetown who believe the paper is boom
ing it, through subscriptions, pay for the
paper stock. Before many years, so
many land notices as has been necessary
to publish, will cease. The following
from the Mandan Times has in mind
Legislation affecting this class Of news
papers: ''There is one law especially
that should be amended by the legisla-
tnre this winter, and that is section 81 of
the political code, wherein it states that
any newspaper may be made the official
paper Of the county. It does not require
the paper to be of any bona fde circula-
ton whatever. An amendment should
be made whereby the newspaper chosen
shall be Of general circulation, with a
bona fide list of subscribers of not less
than 25O. There are some news
papers in the territory who are perfect
bloodsuckers, who cannot show-up 100
circulation in county of 10000 popula.
tion, and still they are pitted against
newspapers Of high standing that circu.
late throughout the county"

THE succession of railroad collisions
during the past few months, in connec-
ton with which has been witnessed the
most terrible and agonizing deaths from
the burning of the cars, ignited by coal
stoves, has emphatically called to the at
tention of the people the dangerous meth
cd of car-heating now in use. The Rio
disaster, so repulsive caused, wide COM
ment, and its repetition in the Tiffin hol-
ocaust has worked public opinion up to
such pitch that it is hoped some effec-
tive action will be speedily taken to COM
pei railroad companies to change the sys-
tenn so often proved disastrous. One
step has already been taken. Tillman, of
South Carolina, has introduced bill in
congress which, if passed, will require
that all railway passenger, mail, express
and baggage cars shall be lighted with
gas or electricity, and that no stove shall
be used to heat any railway car used for
the transportation of passengers or en-
p1OyCos 4A1o3 u cOuIoOS WouAu A0SoooA>
tate the use of steam for heating pur-
poses. He finds at the patent Office that
practical methods by several devices for
safety heating and lighting cars have
been patented, and from what he there
learned thinks there would little difficult
ty arise from an immediate impossibiity
to comply with the provisions of the law
which he suggests. Even if there should
be no feasible method yet perfected that
would be an improvement upon the pres
ent, it would be libel upon the invent
i've characteristic of the American people
to claim there would not be one quickly
sought out if there was demand for it.
The great advantage of the air brake over
any former system is unquestioned, and
yet the law has had to step in and say
some method of it must be used before
scarcely company would adopt it. 1t is
hard for an individual inventor toprevail
upon a mighty corporation to adopt his
product when they have in use something
not excessively expensive, and which an
swers necessary purpose. 1t is one OF
the purposes for which the government
was formed "to promote the general well
fare,'' and here is both an opportunity
and demand for congress to fulfill its
stated functions.

THE Black Hills Herald maintains that q
territorial hospital for the insane should
be established in the Black Hills. It
claims that there have been about sixty
patients in the last two years in
that region who have needed treat
ment, which numb is like
ly to increase rapidly, as statistics show
a larger percentage of insane persons
among miners than any other class of
people. 1t is claimed that the greater
convenience and accommodation to the
people of that section and the decrease
of expenses to the territory by appro-
priating for an asylum there makes their
demand both reasonable and pressing.

ALLOWING 200 acres of land to each
Indian family, by allotment, would leave
on the Indian reservations outside of In
dian Territory, 75,OOO,O0O acres of land
for white settlers. The Indian severalty
bill, upon which congressional commit
tee of conference has argued, provides
for the allotment, and leaves it discre-
Gonary with the secretary of the interior
when to offer the surplus lands for sale
and settlement. That will be better for
Dakota and for our Indians than the
Dawes bill. 1t will result in nine-tenths
of the great reservation being opened.
